Rise of the Malactric Heir

"You have got it all wrong, it\'s nothing like that," she said and Nina grinned as Yan smirked.

"I have an idea who it is as well, but should we go to bed now, Nina, or should we stay?" Yan inquired.

"No, no, you guys go ahead, have a good night as well," Adora replied.

"We will, you be careful now, good night," Yan said.

"Good night, princess, don\'t stay out here too long, we don\'t want you refusing to go with us tomorrow because of a cold," Nina said before leaving with Yan, and Adora smiled as she gazed up at the sky.

"I think I\'ll go to bed now as well; I\'m glad I\'m going out with them tomorrow; are you guys going now or do you want to roam around tonight?" Adora inquired as the fox rose up.

"No, we won\'t, your highness, we will take your leave now, have a good night and be careful, stay safe," the fox said as the tiger stood up and both of them bowed their heads.

"I will, and if that\'s what you guys want, then so be it, good night guys, don\'t go make any mischief," she replied, before they vanished and Adora sighed and went up to her room, locked her door, and went to freshen up.

After she finished freshening up, the girl changed into her nightgown, then opened the seal and the shadow appeared beside her.

"You look cute," it said and she smiled.

"Can you keep an eye on me all night? I\'ve noticed that when I have these nightmares, I can only sleep when someone I care about and trust is nearby," she said.

"You know my answer, it\'s an, of course, I will go to sleep, after all, I love you too," it responded, and she chuckled as she went into bed, then sighed and covered herself with the blanket, and after a while, she fell asleep while the one within her watched over her the entire night.

When Adora awoke the next morning, she noticed the shadow lurking by the balcony door.

"Good morning," she said and it turned to look at her.

"Good morning, sweetie, did you sleep well?" it inquired.

"I did, are you okay?" she inquired.

"Yeah, I am fine, I just watched the sunrise a few hours ago and now I\'m just looking out," it replied, and she lowered her head.

"Thank you for keeping an eye on me," she said, and the shadow smiled as it approached her.

"You worry too much, but you are welcome; what are your plans for today?" "It\'s already 9 a.m.," it said and she smiled.

"We are going to the amusement park, a nice day off with everyone, I can leave the seal open," she responded and it chuckled.

"No, don\'t do that, I\'m fine, I want you to enjoy your day, Adora, have fun with your friends," it said, and she sighed before getting out of bed and looking at the shadow.

"All right," she said.

"You are forgetting something, sweetie," it replied, and she sighed. She closed the seal, and the shadow vanished, and she went to freshen up and go about her normal morning routine.

When the girl finished, she got dressed then left the room, heading to the dining hall when she looked at the entrance and saw Zack talking to Alix and the others.

"Zack," she said, and he smiled as he approached her and hugged her tightly, and she smiled.

"Good morning," he said cheerfully.

"Good morning, Zack, what brings you here?" She inquired as he rose from her and smiled.

"I came here because Zavis told me to; he said you guys were going on a little outing today and he wanted me to join as well," he explained.

"Well, if that\'s the case, then even I am glad you are coming along, I see you took the bandage off of your leg, you gonna be okay?" she asked.

"I told you it wasn\'t that bad, I\'ll be fine, half of your teammates bandages are gone, we\'ll be fine," he replied.

"He is right, now let\'s go have our breakfast, then we will leave, and since it\'s the weekend, the park will be crowded, but we have one thing being royals, I\'ll take advantage of that today," Zavis said, and they laughed before going to the dining hall to eat breakfast with the king and queen, who were happy that they were all going out to have fun.

While they were eating their breakfast, Adora looked at them and smiled then sipped her coffee and sighed with relief.

"You seem a little relieved this morning; did you sleep well?" Alix inquired, her gaze fixed on him.

"Did you?" she asked.

"No nightmares, so I would say fine," he said to which she smiled.

"I wonder when you will laugh like a crazy person and smile like a blooming flower," she said as he sighed and stared at her.

"I could say the same thing to you; when are you going to do it?" he inquired.

"Someday, you can\'t force yourself to smile like a blooming flower, a fake is a fake," she replied, as he continued to eat his meal alongside her.

\'I know the way she thinks is beyond some of us,\' he thought.

After everyone finished eating their meal Alix along with the others got up.

"Are you guys leaving now?" the queen inquired.

"We are," Zavis responded.

"Well, have fun, kids, and remember to be careful because it will be crowded," the queen said.

"She is correct, be cautious," the king advised, and Zavis smiled.

"We\'ll be, let\'s go," Zavis said as he walked away, followed by the others, who all got in separate cars with a few of them in each and left for the park.

When they arrived at the park, they parked and got out of their cars, and Adora left, amazed at how large the park was and how crowded it was, not only with locals but also with foreigners.
